Bison Baseball
Facilities and Directions

Newman Outdoor Field

North Dakota State University’s baseball team has played and practiced on campus at Newman Outdoor Field since 1997.  The Bison share the facility with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the independent Northern League.

Completed in June 1996 at an original cost of $5.5 million, the stadium’s permanent seating capacity is 4,513 fans.  Naming rights were awarded to Harold Newman, founder of Newman Outdoor Advertising, for $1.5 million in 1998.

Dimensions are 318 feet to left field, 399 feet to left-center field, 408 to center field, 365 to right-center, and 314 down the right-field line.  The surface is natural grass.

Dressing rooms are located under the stadium behind each dugout, and there is an indoor batting cage.
 
A two-tiered press box with radio and television booths provides ample working space high above home plate between 12 spectator suites.

Fans enjoy the classic feel of a hand-operated scoreboard with complete line score and team totals beyond the left-field fence.  A color message board is used to scroll player statistics and other information.  The stadium has superior lighting for evening and late night games and a full-sized infield tarp for foul weather.

North Dakota State hosted the North Central Conference championship tournament in 2000 at Newman Outdoor Field.  The stadium has also hosted several Northern League playoff games, including the 1996, 1998, 2003, 2005 and 2006 championship series.  It was the site of the 2009 American Legion World Series.
